Server Error PHP when attempting to access database

Question

How do I elucidate this error message? I've spent a few hours on this already. Basically when I connect to myapp.mysite.org I get it to work, the same with myapp.mysite.org/docu and the other pages, but when I need to query the database, I get this cryptic "Server Error" thing. Any tips on how I go about starting this, I am at wit's end. How can I at least have some sort of error logging so I see where things are failing.

echo "<pre>";
print_r($this->db);
echo "</pre>";

run the above code to check your db's details, seems ur htaccess file is fine ane make sure your $active_group in is the right one.
